CONTEXT

The match is finished, with Arsenal securing a 2-0 full-time victory over Bayer 04 Leverkusen. This fixture concluded the second leg of their knockout tie. Just 6 days ago, the first meeting was played between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Arsenal, which ended with a tightly contested first leg scoreline of 1-1. Arsenal entered the match as strong favorites, holding a 72.1% pre-match market probability for a home win, alongside a 16.9% probability for a draw and 11% for an away victory. The final outcome aligned perfectly with the pre-match market. Driven by their favored status, Arsenal registered a significant deviation from baseline expectations to firmly control the result. Bayer 04 Leverkusen dictated play with 58% possession, leaving Arsenal with 42%. However, the home side was vastly superior in attack, generating 2.02 expected goals (xG) compared to Leverkusen's 0.64 xG. The final result was fully consistent with this underlying xG data. The overall efficiency shift remained in line with performance metrics, and with zero red cards issued to either side, no disciplinary events negatively impacted the game's natural flow as Arsenal advanced.
